Histories of the commandos are rarely documented. A recent publication had been produced on the Boksburg Commando and is available for £4 ex p&p at this site. The Boksburg Commando was famous for the capture of Winston Churchill at Chieveley as well as the capture of the British guns at Colenso.

Unit information 
I tried the link too and see there is a notice saying the shop is closed. I'll keep trying and if the message persists, I'll remove the link.
Thank you for your alert
David
I was unable to access the site about the Boksburg Commando book. I wonder if the book is the same as one I acquired several years ago:
'The Incredible Saga of the Boksburg Commando 1899-1902' by George Mills (Boksburg Historical Association, 2000).

Sorry to hear your comments. In what way is the site difficult to use?
You are correct that there are no names of Boer women or families on the site. I am working on a list of Boer prisoners but it would seem that this site will not offer you what you are looking for.
